My setup consists of
Documentum Content Server 7.3 (dctm-cs) running in a docker container (from EMC)
Documentum REST Services 7.3 (dctm-rest) running in a docker container (from EMC)
I am definitively able to get information from within dctm by running queries against it with iapi, for example:
API> ?,c,select user_name from dm_user enable (return_top 5)
user_name
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
docu
ubuntudb
dm_superusers
dm_superusers_dynamic
dm_browse_all
(5 rows affected)
I am also able to $ curl http://localhost:8080/dctm-rest/repositories.json from both the dctm-rest container as well as its host container and get the results:
{"id":"http://localhost:8080/dctm-rest/repositories","title":"Repositories","author":[{"name":"EMC Documentum"}],"updated":"2017-08-16T21:42:44.177+00:00","page":1,"items-per-page":1000,"total":1,"links":[{"rel":"self","href":"http://localhost:8080/dctm-rest/repositories.json"}],"entries":[{"id":"http://localhost:8080/dctm-rest/repositories/ubuntudb","title":"ubuntudb","summary":"ubuntudb","updated":"2017-08-16T21:42:44.178+00:00","published":"2017-08-16T21:42:44.178+00:00","links":[{"rel":"edit","href":"http://localhost:8080/dctm-rest/repositories/ubuntudb.json"}],"content":{"type":"application/json","src":"http://localhost:8080/dctm-rest/repositories/ubuntudb.json"}}]}
Attempting to $ curl http://localhost:8080/dctm-rest/repositories/ubuntudb.json, however hangs indefinitely.
I have attempted to provide the default username and password via basic HTTP authentication, also with the same results.
The contents of the dfc.properties file in dctm-cs:
dfc.data.dir=/opt/dctm
dfc.tokenstorage.dir=/opt/dctm/apptoken
dfc.tokenstorage.enable=false
dfc.docbroker.host[0]=ubuntustateless
dfc.docbroker.port[0]=1489
dfc.crypto.repository=ubuntudb
dfc.session.secure_connect_default=try_secure_first
dfc.globalregistry.repository=ubuntudb
dfc.globalregistry.username=dm_bof_registry
dfc.globalregistry.password=AAAAEL9wp8c6k3K2UTQJwTYO5kMnE3rDrHJVDL+LijAg+zLk
The contents of the dfc.properties file in dctm-rest:
dfc.docbroker.host[0]=172.18.0.1
dfc.docbroker.port[0]=1489
#Add the global registry repository name to the following key.
dfc.globalregistry.repository=ubuntudb
#Add the username of the global registry user to the following key.
dfc.globalregistry.username=dmadmin
#Add an encrypted password value for the following key.
dfc.globalregistry.password=password
dfc.exception.include_id=false
dfc.exception.include_decoration=false
I have attempted to change the value of dfc.globalregistry.username to be the same as in dctm-cs, to no avail and same hang on request.
I have also attempted to use both encrypted and decrypted values for dfc.globalregistry.password, in both dctm-cs and dctm-rest also with no luck.
This may sound to be a very silly or basic doubt, but here's my question.
In this redis server config file
https://github.com/antirez/redis/blob/2.8/redis.conf#L14
Consider the config, log-level notice.
What if I don't use this line :
log-level notice
in my config file. What will be it's default value?
Or does all the configs set in this example config file are default by themselves inside redis?
You can check Redis log level with config get loglevel. After you comment log level property and restart Redis service. You will see that default log level is notice.
we are using tomcat server to our application . Here very much log creating into catalina.out . we want to make archive of catalina.out . then deleted old catalina.out file . and created a new catalina.out file and given permissions .
But the new log is not loading in to catalina.out file .
After restarting tomcat server , it started to load log in to catalina.out file .
But ,We want achieve this with out down time .
Thanks,
Srinivas
You can configure Tomcat Logging either with JULI or Log4j.
Take a look at some configuration examples.
If you choose to use log4j with Tomcat, pay attention to these configuration attributes
# Max file size, after which the logfile is rolled and indexed
log4j.appender.R.MaxFileSize=10MB
# Number of backup indexed log files.
log4j.appender.R.MaxBackupIndex=10
In Apache Log4j Extras you can find log file appenders that support archiving.
We are using an embedded Glassfish Server in our testing environment. We use the org.glassfish.embeddable.CommandRunner interface to execute administrative tasks (i.e., what we do with asadmin with a standard standalone Glassfish server)
Example:
GlassFish glassfish = GlassFishRuntime.bootstrap( bp ).newGlassFish( gfp );
CommandRunner commandRunner = glassfish.getService( CommandRunner.class );
commandRunner.run(
"create-jms-resource",
"--restype",
"javax.jms.Queue",
"SOME_QUEUE_NAME"
);
Now on the command line I am able to set queue options with imqcmd. For example
imqcmd -u admin -passfile ../password.txt update dst -n SOME_QUEUE_NAME -t q -o maxBytesPerMsg=-1 -f
Is there a way to achieve the same with an embedded Glassfish server?
Instead of using imqcmd, you can use the asadmin subcommand create-jmsdest to create a JMS physical destination.
From the documentation on create-jmsdest:
Typically, you use the create-jms-resource subcommand to create a JMS destination resource that has a Name property that specifies the physical destination. The physical destination is created automatically when you run an application that uses the destination resource. Use the create-jmsdest subcommand if you want to create a physical destination with non-default property settings.
If you do not specify a Name property for create-jms-resource, the name of the physical destination has the same name as the destination resource (replacing any forward slash in the JNDI name with an underscore).
Thus, the asadmin commands you want to run are for example:
create-jms-resource --restype javax.jms.Queue org/example/foo/SomeQueue
create-jmsdest --desttype queue --property maxBytesPerMsg=-1:maxTotalMsgBytes=-1 org_example_foo_SomeQueue
Note that (unlike imqcmd update dst) create-jmsdest does not update the properties if the resource already exists. Therefore, you should not start your application inbetween the two commands, otherwise the resource is automatically created with default properties.
If you have to update properties, you can remove the physical destination first using e.g. asadmin delete-jmsdest org_example_foo_SomeQueue.
We are using Nagios to monitor our network with great success. However, we have a syslog for critical application errors and while I set up check_log, it doesn't seem to work as well as monitering a device.
The issues are:
It only shows the last entry
There doesn't seem to be a way to acknowledge the critical error and
return the monitor to a good state
Is nagios the wrong tool, or are we just not setting up the service monitering right?
Here are my entries
# log file
define command{
command_name check_log
command_line $USER1$/check_log -F /var/log/applications/appcrit.log -O /tmp/appcrit.log -q ?
}
# Define the log monitering service
define service{
name logfile-check ;
use generic-service ;
check_period 24x7 ;
max_check_attempts 1 ;
normal_check_interval 5 ;
retry_check_interval 1 ;
contact_groups admins ;
notification_options w,u,c,r ;
notification_period 24x7 ;
register 0 ;
}
define service{
use logfile-check
host_name localhost
service_description CritLogFile
check_command check_log
}
For monitoring logs with Nagios, typically the log checker will return a warning only for newly discovered error messages each time it is invoked (so it must retain some state in order to know to ignore them on subsequent runs). Therefore I usually set:
max_check_attempts 1
is_volatile 1
This causes Nagios to send out the alert immeidately, but only once, and then go back to normal.
My favorite log checker is logwarn, but I'm biased because I wrote it myself after not finding any existing ones that I liked. The logwarn package includes a Nagios plugin.
Nothing in your config jumps out at me as being misconfigured.
By design, check_log will only show either an OK message, or the last log entry that triggered an alert. If you need to see multiple entries, you'll need to modify the plugin.
However, I find the fact that you're not getting recoveries somewhat odd. The way check_log works (by comparing the current log to the previous version), you should get a recovery on the very next service check. Except of course, when there have been additional matching entries added to the log since the last check.
Does forcing another service check (or several) cause it to recover?
Also, I don't intend this in a mean way, but make sure it's really malfunctioning.
Is your log getting additional matching entries in between checks, causing it not to recover? Your check is matching "?" which will match anything new in the log. Is something else (a non-error) being added to the log and inadvertently causing a match?
If none of the above are the issue, I would suggest narrowing it down by taking Nagios out of the equation. Try running check_log manually (from the command line, but as the same user as nagios), and with a different oldlog. It should go something like this -
run check with a new "oldlog" - get initialization message
run check - check OK
make change to log
run check - check fails
run check - check OK
If this doesn't work, then you know to focus on the log, the oldlog, and how the check_log is doing the check.
If it works, then it points more towards a problem with your nagios configuration.
There is a Nagios plugin that you can use to check the log files: it's called check_logfiles and it's used to scan the lines of a file for regular expressions.
The following link shows how to install and configure check_logfiles for Nagios and Opsview:
https://www.opsview.com/resources/nagios-alternative/blog/syslog-monitoring-nagios-opsview
As there are many ways to achieve a goal, there is also a nice plugin from Consol available:
https://labs.consol.de/lang/en/nagios/check_logfiles/
supports regex
supports log rotation
To use it, you need a cfg file, this is an example for oracle databases

I believe there's now a real Nagios plugin that monitors logs effectively.
http://support.nagios.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=8851&p=42088&hilit=unixautomation#p42088
The home page of the Nagios plugin on that page is Nagios Log Monitor
Your [ commands.cfg file ] will contain:
define command {
command_name NagiosLogMonitor
command_line $USER1$/NagiosLogMonitor $HOSTNAME$ $ARG1$ $ARG2$ $ARG3$ $ARG4$ '$ARG5$' '$ARG6$' $ARG7$ $ARG8$ $ARG9$ $ARG10$
}
OR
define command {
command_name NagiosLogMonitor
command_line $USER1$/NagiosLogMonitor $HOSTADDRESS$ $ARG1$ $ARG2$ $ARG3$ $ARG4$ '$ARG5$' '$ARG6$' $ARG7$ $ARG8$ $ARG9$ $ARG10$
}
Your [ services.cfg file ] will look similar to:
define service {
check_command NagiosLogMonitor!logrobot!autofig!/var/log/proteus.log!15!500.html!500 Internal Server Error!1!2!-foundn
max_check_attempts 1
service_description 500_ERRORS_LOGCHECK
host_name sky.blat-01.net,sky.blat-02.net,sky.blat-03.net
use fifteen-minute-interval
}
Nagios now has a solution that integrates tightly with Nagios Core, XI, etc.
Nagios Log Server which can alert on any query on any log file on any system in your infrastructure.
